Ozzy’s Ozzmosis turns 31 this week, and here’s Zakk Wylde casually ripping the “Perry Mason” solo, Richard Simmons doll cameo and all.
He played every note of guitar on the album and co-wrote most of it. The album almost went to Steve Vai, though, only his song “My Little Man” survived.
Scream for me Dallas!!
LIVE NATION are delighted to announce the surprise return to North America of IRON MAIDEN and their spectacular RUN FOR YOUR LIVES show in the spring of 2027 for a very special third and final leg of the tour.
Following the packed shows and rave reactions across Canada and the USA for the recently concluded North American leg of their 50th Anniversary RUN FOR YOUR LIVES TOUR Iron Maiden will return to North America in 2027 to play a further 16 shows.
Maiden, a 2026 inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, will play mainly in regions that the current tour missed, in a mix of indoor and outdoor venues, and will conclude with two festival headline performances at Sonic Temple and Boardwalk Rock. They will, of course, be bringing their full, dramatic production for each and every performance.
Says Steve Harris, “As many of our fans know, Maiden were planning on taking a break from live performances in 2027, but we’ve been enjoying this last leg in the USA and Canada so much that we all had a chat and decided we should take the show to parts we missed, particularly the North West and South East. It just seems fair to our many fans there who have given us tremendous support for so many years. We can’t get everywhere but we can try! Also, we have always enjoyed playing the many great festivals that are in Europe and wanted to experience a couple more in the USA which we will do at the end of the tour in Columbus and Maryland. At festivals you are not just playing to your own fans so it’s always a challenge and we all love a challenge!”
Manager Rod Smallwood comments, “The first leg was terrific, huge sell-out crowds of all ages spanning multi-generations, some of the biggest shows we have ever played in North America with rave fan and media reactions, and just a great all round vibe and camaraderie from our fans, including in our Eddie’s Dive Bars everywhere. And I know as I go to every one of them! In fact it was so good we just have to come back and play some places we missed and bring Eddie’s Dive Bars with us!
“It is amazing that even after all these years we played to many more people per show than ever before and headlined our first stadium shows in the USA. We have been selling out arenas in all parts of North America since 1983 - bar a short period in the 90s – and the band’s following here continues to grow despite an almost total lack of mainstream radio support and never even having a track reach the Billboard Hot 100! For that we have to thank our amazing fans, and it proves that word of mouth still means a lot. We look forward to seeing you all again next Spring”.
These shows will DEFINITELY be the last of the already legendary RUN FOR YOUR LIVES TOUR which by the end will have played 107 shows to well over 3 million fans in 36 countries – now that really is the proper way to celebrate your 50th anniversary!
Special Guests on the tour will be fellow Brits, Bullet for My Valentine who recently announced their new album ‘Social Apocalypse’ due out on March 19 2027. This tour will be the band’s first highly anticipated shows in North America since their co-headline tour with Trivium early last year. Rounding out this exciting all-British bill will be The Raven Age, who recently supported Maiden on several South and Central American shows. Not since 1983 has Maiden chosen a three-band British bill and this return to their roots suits this final celebration of their early years and their 50th Anniversary!

The setup vs. the shot.
Fun time shooting this one-take “Lights Out” live video in DTLA on one of the hottest days of the year.

Kentucky is 5-1
Arkansas is 2-4
Both hired new coaches, we paid ours 2 million more and both schools spent roughly the same amount on rosters. $$$ is NOT AN EXCUSE FOR INCOMPETENCE

Eddie Van Halen, six years gone today.
A fan once asked how he still kept his spark. He said he just kept playing, with his son Wolfgang in the band.
Then came the part that stays with you.
"If you're a musician, you just play until the day you die. It's not like I can't wait to turn 65 and retire. You play music, you don't work it."
Rest easy, Ed.

Six years ago today, we lost Eddie Van Halen.
"Eruption," the tapping, the Frankenstrat, a whole generation of guitar players. The greatest of all time.
Rest in peace, Eddie.

Gas. Hot air. Nonsense.
No one has any clue what they’re doing. They are all going 10 different ways & winning ain’t one of them
